A resurgent Manchester United outfit will be looking to climb back into the top four of the Premier League table when they travel to the City Ground to face Sean Dyche’s Nottingham Forest on Saturday afternoon.
The Red Devils are out for revenge against the Tricky Trees after they were beaten in both home and away fixtures last season, most recently losing 1-0 on Forest’s turf in April.
Since matchday three in the Premier League (end of August), only leaders Arsenal (16) have accumulated more points than Man United (15 – W5 L2), while the Red Devils are the leading scorers in the division in that time (14).
United’s away from leaves a lot to be desired, though, as they have collected only four PL points from a possible 12 on the road so far this season – three of which were claimed at Liverpool in their last away match – while they have lost their last two away league games against Nottingham Forest, last suffering three consecutive defeat at the City Ground between August 1965 and October 1967.
Amorim is hoping to have Harry Maguire fit to return after he missed the win over Brighton with a minor unspecified problem, but fellow defender Lisandro Martinez (knee) is not yet ready to return, even though he is back in training.
Leny Yoro could make way if Maguire is fit to start in the back three alongside Matthijs de Ligt and Luke Shaw, while Amorim may stick with Amad Diallo and Diogo Dalot as wing-backs, with Patrick Dorgu providing cover on the substitutes’ bench.
Cunha has been involved in seven goals in his last four appearances against PL teams starting the day in the relegation zone (three goals, four assists) – all for Wolves between April 2024 and April 2025 – and he will likely continue in attack with Mbeumo and Benjamin Sesko.
